These folks good to go ordering stuff? With other companies dying off, want to make sure I don't get ripped off. Looking at this one. Thanks

I've never dealt with them but....
hmm 6' wide blade in front of an 18HP tractor just doesn't seem 'right' to me. you'll also need a fair amount of weight out back and chains.

I’ve used them several times. Although the hurricane just came though their area, not sure if they were affected or not.

I've bought several things from them. Always good service - and always have arrived earlier than promised.

I will have my 6 foot 3 point blade on the back. Would actually want a UTV blade up front as those are lighter. I put on R4's in the winter with no problems moving around on snow. Just want a front blade so all I have to do is one pass instead 2. I take care of our neighbors driveways as they are a older couple. Don't charge them anything. Great neighbors.

Thanks for all the replies folks. Still considering other options.

Am considering this one. Not as large as I want it but can take the forks off and use the hitch portion to mount up front. Plan is to only use this in heavy snow and leave it about 2 inches off the ground to clear most of the front. Then let the rear blade to the rest.


Here is the forks I have with the hitch to use.


One thing to add. I turn my blade backwards so I don't rip up the ground. Just tilt the blade so its almost straight down at a 45 degree angle. Works good.
